Journey To The Mountaintop
Based on the Eastern myth of the Monkey King and his troupe of troublemakers Pragmatic Play’s Magic Journey video slot is amusing to listen to and entertaining to experience.
The gameplay is punctuated with the ecstatic cries of the Monkey King, eastern-inspired music, percussive instrumentation on every win and so much more. It is a wonderfully charming cacophony of win-based fun.
The design is an amazing take on the mythos surrounding the Monkey King and his adventures with the backdrop of the slot machine being an ancient temple that reaches into the sky – a design element that perfectly suits the games custom layout of a 3x3 grid above and a single oversized 5 symbol reel below.
Magic Journey only sports 10 basic symbols, one the Monkey King and his eight travel companions, plus a blank wooden tile with an Asian design etched into it.
There are none of the expected Scatters and Wilds in Magic Journey as it’s gameplay is a unique experience based on two respin triggers and 8 basic paylines.
Mystical Eastern Features
Pragmatic Play has created Magic Journey to be both an audio and visual treat. Plus, the gameplay itself is simple yet intriguing, with a custom 9 symbol board and a single spinning reel.
Melissa Summerfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Pragmatic Play, said:
“Magic Journey is a step away from the traditional layout of a slot game, offering an exciting and easy to understand matching system which can quickly pile up big wins. The engaging gameplay and giant win potential give Magic Journey all the ingredients to be a hit.”
The top board consists of 9 fixed symbols in a 3x3 grid. These icons never move and are greyed out between spins of the games single reel – the symbols that appear on the spinning reel are highlighted and count towards completing the 8 winning lines.
The 8 paylines are based on three paylines running left to right, three paylines running top to bottom and another two running diagonally from top left to bottom right and vice versa.
To the left of this 3x3 grid are the payout values, based on your current bet level. The payouts are based not on the number of symbols that land on the reel but rather on how many of the 8 paylines you highlight in a single round.
At a minimum of €0.20 per game completing all 8 lines will reward you with €80. Landing such a fortuitous outcome when betting the game's maximum of €100 per game will see you winning €40,000! That’s a fantastic 400x your stake return.
✓Winning Respins
Completing a winning payline while playing Magic Journey will automatically trigger a free respin of the reels in the hopes of adding to your current win tally. If an additional line is completed by this respin it will trigger another free game. This feature continues until no new lines are filled.
✓Golden Monkey Respins
To add another level of excitement to the outcome of each spin any time the central Golden Monkey symbol lands on the reels it will trigger a respins – regardless of whether the previous spin was a winning one or not.
Whisk Me Away Magical Monkey
